SGDQ raised over $230,000 as of this writing, with the main marathon about over and the bonus stream soon to begin. I got to be there for about a day and a half, which was great fun. I ever learned that hiking uphill a mile and a half from the Arapahoe light rail station to the Sheraton Denver Tech Center is a lot harder than it sounds, in that mile high air. I don’t know how the Nuggets ever lose a home game.

So, I’m back, but there’s still also going to be no Tech on Friday this week, because I’m going to be off again for the 2013 Redstate Gathering in New Orleans. So what we’re doing tonight is the same as we’ll likely be doing next Monday: a catch-up post. Enjoy.

One reason FCC reform is needed: it’s still pushing agendas unrelated to what it’s actually supposed to be doing. Taking on prison phones just shows how out of touch the FCC is with the legitimate issues related to prison communications. They’re being led by groups that want violent felons out of prison, raping and killing in our communities. It’s nuts.

I’m 100% fine with giving away iPads to kids if we use it to avoid having to buy textbooks at full price. Carrying textbooks is a legitimate problem for kids, placing physical strains on their backs. The textbooks also cost lots of money. Putting the books on iPad is healthier and ought to be cheaper.
